Flavor-packed cranberries abound during the holidays, making them particularly well suited to a shrub. The addition of rosemary gives the shrub a Christmassy flavor and the orange finishes it off with a pleasant citrus bitterness.

Michael Dietsch makes this summer shrub by combining raspberries and thyme, first sweetening the raspberries with sugar and allowing them to macerate before combing them with thyme-infused apple cider vinegar.
